Micronics U1000-HM User Manual 2 Quick Start Procedure The following procedure details the steps required to set up the heat meter. See the sections referred to if you are unsure about how to install the instrument. 1. Wire the electronics up to a 12 to 24V ac or dc power supply (7VA minimum per instrument) via the Blue and Brown wires.
Micronics U1000-HM User Manual 3 How Does It Work? The U1000-HM is a clamp-on, ultrasonic flowmeter that uses a multiple slope transit time algorithm to provide accurate flow measurements. Figure 1 Principle of Transit-Time operation An ultrasonic beam of a given frequency is generated by applying a repetitive voltage pulse to the transducer crystals.
